Such abuses as had re cently been the subject of discussion in that House would probably never have existed, had not, the ne gled im4 profuseness of Ministers rendered their de tedion uncertain and remote. -He then spoke-of the careless manner in which accounts were investigated at the Treasury. The Committee bad proposed to give the Commissioners for their remuneration the sum of fO,OOOl. instead of wha t'fhey had thought proper to take to themSefres; but even this sum, as it was pia much as gocaLiervantS, of the.public ought to receive, he could not think them entitled to, The Hon. Gentleman concluded a syeech of considerable length by moving several resohltions, the substance of which was, That to 'permit' any persons to hold a 'pecuniary trust without' some check, and ' without calling regularly for their accounts,. must itreOtably lead - to evils the most serious; that negled must have existed on the part of ooVernnient, in not Wav ing called for such account s-; that the Commission era were chargeable whoa the most rep;ehensible negleCt, and in appropriating to themselves the sums they had claitneu as a recatmeration for their services bad shamefully abused the confidence reposed in them ; that the Commissioners stood accountable to 'the Public for such sums, and that their accounts ought to be referred to Auditors. Mr. THORNTON riaiti3 to vindicate the Committee with respeel to the stnit the Hon. Gentleman thought they-were for voting improperly to the Commis sioners. The Commit' tee were of oliinion -that they must stand accountn'ole to the public for the whole of the 'sums they 112. d unjustly claimed, and that the auditors might charge interest on the sums they had entrusted to private bankers, as well as On the .rims they 'had approKiated to themselves. With such .dedudions, they did not think 10,0001. would•be too great a rew and fur their services. lie had no obje6,tion to beltow censure where it was merited ; but he thought it svotsld• be-preposterous to pass it on the head of t'ue present Admieistratioo, as. amidst 'the cares which were•necessarily felt there, it could not be a matter of surprise that -an -instance of ne -001 on the part of their predecessors shouldescape observation;, , The Citamtult.Lon of the Exctructurnt -said, that • measures 'had been already 'taken to put a stop to such abuses. No Administration conl.l merit cen • surCin this instance less than the -present, as the tre glea diet not originate with then.---No Govern- Juent could look jou) all• the actions of those in office b6fotetltem. Had their attention teen called to snich'abuses, then if they had . -negletled to put a stop to 'limn, their condna would have ins rited censure. That the accounts should be regularly called for .he, • coukl not deny ; but when it had•beenlong negleCi-• cd•by one Administration, it was not 'very likely to &inir to another. He could not think anclragene ' tel censure as that proposed just, as its greatest weight 'must fali on the Govern men t of tt he, day, whe were certainly least culpable. He concluded by .mov ing the previous question. _ _ _ Sir JOlll4 NEWPORT censured the condua of the Commissioners, and the negligence of Government, in strong,terms. Were sneli, flagrant abuses slightly passed over by them, it might be said they gav,s their sanaion to the violation a. their own •a;;As. :He tOr one thought it . would .be proper- to carry an Ad . drelis to. the Crown, pra)cing that the Atternc;y:Ge neral might br instrueted to proceed against ilteni. Mr. Rosetlionght the Treasury in whae time the Commioionerl were first appointed could alone merit censure.—At the liine they were appeinted, it never once, occurred to him thaft hey were to have !I pound- . age; he expe6leri, as in. every siinflar'n7prrintment, that when the busitiesS was done the Coininissioners - Would have tendered their accounts, and been paid the 'sum their services might appear tea merit. li e declared no private friendship had prbcurea th e appointment of the cotnitissioners.: , 'He Concluded, vindicating the present -Administration and opposing the resolutions. Mr. Wnintatsn, in 'a speech .of tursiderable length, contended,: that the condott of the Com missioners loudly called for,,the - peinted finger of re probation. The Hun. Gentleman took occasion to enter into a long, detail on the pamphleteering me rits of one of the ConniiisS s ioners (Mr. Bowles), whose services in the vineyard of the Treasury the Hon. Gentleman represented as the basis of his ap. pointment to the Commission. In strong terms he deprecated the manner in Which Members of that , House. had been assailed by letters from these Com missioners, canvassing - their votes on the instituted imptiry.. At a time, he said, whet'! Mr. Pitt Made application to these Gentlemea for some stoney to wards the public service ; they stated that they had none in 'their hands,.though they adually held 191,0001. 'of the public money. Yet one of those Gentlefuen, he sail, was. a life and property•man, who professed his teadiness to risk every thing be possessed in patriotic endeavours for the country. He would strenuously advise the House to untruss those Dutchmen, and take even out of tlu,lr brogues the last 'shilling of the public. money.. He would not, he said,• travel joie the silence of tire grave on this occasion, and advert, in speaking of the cont. mission itself, to the' deceased Mr. Pitt. Jri this respea he would so tar deviate from the unhallowed. libeller of the late vit Mons Duke of Bedford. He . could not see why foer Commissioners should be appOinted instead of three, unless it were to make room for that favourite of the Tr.e:isery (Mr.BOWles), connected as ,he was with three distoznished Per sonages; one, who flow held a high official sitnii tioe in Spain; the second, a Secretary of State; and the third, die Editor of the 'Anti-jacabin. Mr. Bowles's religion, be observed, was like, that of the Pharisee, why preached well, bet condueled inn self to the contrary. Like the servant,: who when called to account by his master, returned for answer, that he ailed upon an exPeaatlon of rise In his wages, these Commissioners had, - with ,uticonetter; able effrontery, after pockettiug 1`33,0001. boasted of the great sacrifices they had made to the tub tic intereSt, ' If Mr. Bowles, in his Dutch character, had been suffered to escape without censure, ht may perhaps hereafter start up. again as a Spaniard, or a 'Prussian.
